Georgetown is located in Northwest Washington, D.C. It is bounded by the Potomac River on the south, Rock Creek to the east, Glover Park to the north, and Georgetown University on the west. It was formerly a separate city, predating the establishment of the District of Columbia. The primary commercial hubs of Georgetown are M Street and Wisconsin Avenue, which are popular for their high-end shops, bars and restaurants.

Georgetown was formally annexed in 1871. As the only existing town at the time, Georgetown was the fashion and cultural center of the newly-formed District of Columbia. The area reached the height of fashion when Georgetown resident John F. Kennedy was elected president. Kennedy lived in Georgetown as both a Congressman and a Senator. Since then, Georgetown has acquired a reputation as a center of wealth and style in the capital. Many leading figures in politics, media and industry reside in this upper-bracket community.

Georgetown is home to many historic landmarks including: The Chesapeake and Ohio (C&O) Canal, Forrest-Marbury House, Dumbarton Oaks, The Old Stone House, Tudor Place, and the City Tavern Club.

The Sheridan Garage is the exciting new Georgetown address. Located at 2516 Q Street, in the East Village, just west of the Dumbarton bridge that connects Dupont Circle to Georgetown. The Red Line metro is a short stroll away, as are the shopping and restaurant corridors of M Street and Wisconsin Avenue.
